How Russell Sage Caught the Cashier.

New Years always seems to me like
beginning everything new" said the
Hon. Russell Sage, the we'll known
capitalist. "You know used to have
a bank in Troy, and you know. too,
that no bank keeps open on New Years
Day. Now Canada is not so far away
from Troy as it is from New York.
The cashier of our bank was a bach
elor, and | deemed it my duty to keep
a close watch on him for that reason.
You see he had no home ties to re-
strain him, and although very valua-
bic man to the bank | was somewhat
afraid he might be led to forget his
duty.
81 must say that there had never
been a thing in his conduct that had
come to my notice which could be con-
strued as discrediting his integrity. L
liked him for his genial ways and for
his fine business qualities to far more
than ordinary degree.
"The bank closed one year with big
surplus in its vaults and we proposed
to begin the new year by extending
our dealings in commercial paper,
business. The large amount of ready
to surpass the other banks. On New
Years Day | got to thinking how pros
porous the bank had been, and when l
went ont in the evening for Il short
walk | almost uncOnsciOusly turned
toward it. just as | approached it
saw the cashier enter it alone and close
the door behind him. 1t flashed across
me at once that the cashier might be
on the point of committing the very
act that had so long feared.
81 waited to see if he would light
the gas. He did not do SO, and | was
more than ever convinced that he was
engaged in wrong doing. l had a key

quietly. | could then look through the
glass doors directly into the bank. l
saw the cashier in the vault, and in a
moment he came out with a tin box in
his hand and retired to the directors
room in the rear.
81 knew that the train for Canada
passed through Troy in the middle of
the night, and l determined to confront
him. | accordingly rushed forward,
and throwing open the door, ex-
claimed: "Sir, have detected you'll"

Snatched Her from the Grave.
Chicago Nea0S.

| CHtcdg0 Ne1OS
Al old member of the medical pro-
fession in this city tells us story
which he says ID. j. Adams Allen told
him many years ago. DR.. Allen, so the
story goes, was just beginning his prac-
tice when, one winter day, seated in a
car, muff1ed to the ears, he overhead
this conversation between two passen-
gers, who were sitting where they
could not see his face:
"Say George" said one, "what kind
of a doctor is this young Allen 2"
"All that | know about him is that
he snatched my aunt from the grave
last summer--that is, | shall always
think that he did"
"Did he, indeed !" said the other
"Well, he must be pretty good doc
tor, then. What was the matter with
your aunt2"
ooh, she was dead and buried, you
know"

also for Christian philanthropy which

The Best Anti-Poverty Movement.

The Independent.
The best anti pOverty movement of
which we can think is that sensible
and practical philanthropy which, aside
from all speculation as to this or that
theory relating to the organization of
society, seeks to cultivate and improve
individual persons, and to impart to
them the habits of industry, temper
ance and economy; in a word to in
duce them to make the best possible
use of the powers that..G has given
them. We are quite sure that this is
the best antidOte for poverty and it's
evils, and equally sure that if DIR. Nc
Glynn's theory were put into practice,
the world would be much worse off
than it is to-day. A very large part
of the poverty of this country, at least
is purely self induced, and would not
exist at all but for the habits of those
who are the subjects of it. The way
to get rid of this poverty is not to re-
organize society after DR.. McGlynn's
plan, but to teach individual persons
so to live that, as a natural result.
their outward condition will be made
more comfortable. Let the sluggard
set himself about some lawful indus
try; let the drnnkard lay aside his
rum bottle; let the spendthrift save
what he foolishly spends; in short, let
men comply with the natural condi-
tons of success in this life; and, as "A
rule, they will do more for themselves
than thousand DR.. McGlynns can do
for them by mere TRADES against pri-
vate property in land. They may not
become millionaires, but they will
make a reasonable provision for their
wants. Those who refuse to
take this course, must, in the very ma
ture of things, reap the consequences.
This is the law of Gods providence.

ment of retributiOn. He who expects
so to change the social system of this
life that opposite courses of action will
lead to the same results will find him

A Bullet in the Brain.--A Triumph for
Surgery.

A very neat surgeons job has been
performed on Col. Henry Pickens of
Lexington, KY, who got Union bull
let in his brain at Gettysburg and has
carried it until recently. 1t has given
him much pain of latel years. About
two months ago he was in New York
walking along the street leaning on
his cane, when he fell heavily to the
walk, striking his forehead and stun
ming him. The ambulance was sum-
hospital, registered as unknown"
and the surgeon began battle for his
life. After the shock had abated, he
showed signs of paralysis he did not
recover consciousness and his cOndi-
ton was so low as to seem nearly
hopeless. Finally DIR. Parker in dress
ing his wound one day discovered the
scar of the old wound and concluded
he had been injured in the head and
that his brain had been affected by the
previous injury. By observing the
muscles which he could control and
those which seemed to be paralyZed,
DIR. Parker located the trouble on the
right side of the head near the top. He
placed the patient on the table amid
the surgical staff, took out circle of
the skull as big as a dollar, found
what seemed to be tumor in the
brain, and carefully removed it. In
the tumOr was found the f1attened bul
let, the first contribution so far to the
mans history. The patients life flick
cred on the point of extinction for
some days, but finally he began to
mend and in four weeks recovered con-

 It is encouraging to see that some southern newspapers are courageously attacking the convict lease system. Says the Memphis Ap- peal, for instance: The convict lease system must be abolished, and the State Baptist convention would do we'll to file a protest against it. It is not a question upon which parties can take issue. It is 6 matter of common humanity and entirely within the scope of the church.

 It is announced that Father Rivington, who is famous as missionary to India and chap lain to the Prince of Wales, will come to this country in September and spend year here. Father Rivingtons last visit to this country was in the year 1874. His eloquence then attracted much attention throughout the country and the crowds who heard him were immense. Since that time he has been working in India with great success. He went to India in 1874, during the time of the great famine, and accompanied Bishop Cald- well in his missionary journeys in the south of the stricken land. During this notable open air from the porches of the temples. The crusade resulted in one of the most ex- traordinary movements toward Christianity ever seen, 17, ,000 natives desiring to change their belief For the last few years Father Rivington's health has suffered extremely from his exertions and from the East India climate and he has been obliged to spend the winter at Cannes, in the south of France. This is the fayorite watering place of the Prince of Wales and during the last season he appointed Father Arlington his chap lain. He is well known throughout England as an orator. His style is after that of the French school of preachers and his auniences become electrified by his eloquence and lost to all else but his words.

A Word About Catarrl.

'tIt is the mucous membrane, that wonderful semi-ud envelope surrounding the delicate tissues of the air and food passages, that Catarrh makes it's stronghold. Once established, it eats into the very vitas, and renders life but long-drawn breath of misery and disease, duling the sense of hearing, trammelng the power of speech, destroy ing the faculty of smell, tainting the breath. and by creeping from simple cold in the head, it as saults the membranous lining and envelops the bones eating through the delicat coats and caus- ing inflammation, sloughing and death.
